IPC: B27B1/00
Filed: 2001-07-24
Abstract: A board trimmer having pre-trimmer saws includes a selectively translatable upstream first pre-trimmer saw mounted on a near-side of a board flow path of a board transfer, upstream of a downstream multi-saw board trimmer. The pre-trimmer saw is selectively translatable by an actuator for translation linearly parallel to a near-side ended board on the board transfer. The pre-trimmer saw is perpendicular to the board when on the board transfer. A board elevator may be mounted below the board flow path and the pre--trimmer saw for elevating the board from a sequence of single boards from the board transfer into sawing engagement with the pre-trimmer saw once the pre-trimmer saw has been pre--positioned by the actuator into an optimized cutting path. Trimming of the board in the flow path is done according to an optimized solution for trimming the board. The board may be optimally trimmed by a combination of trimming a first waste portion from a near-end of the board by the first pre-trimmer saw and by trimming a second waste portion from either or both of the near-end and a far end of the board by the downstream multi-saw trimmer.

Title: Crosslinking of vinyl acetate polymers or copolymers, preparation of dynamically crosslinked compositions and hybrid organic-inorganic compositions preserving a thermoplastic character
Inventor: MICHEL ALAIN
IPC: C08F8/00
Filed: 2000-03-15
Abstract: The invention concerns a method for crosslinking a thermoplastic polymer or copolymer with vinyl acetate units, which consists in reacting, during the implementing processes, at a temperature ranging between 80 ·C and 280 ·C: the polymer or copolymer with vinyl acetate units, and a polyfunctional alcoholate, in the presence of a catalyst. The crosslinking of polymers or copolymers with vinyl acetate units in the presence of a second thermoplastic polymer or copolymer enables to prepare TPV materials. The method for obtaining a hybrid organic-inorganic material consists in: dispersing and grafting an inorganic network on a thermoplastic polymer or copolymer with vinyl acetate units inducing hydrolysis-condensation of the polyfunctional alcoholate pertaining to the network based on polymer or copolymer with vinyl acetate units and of the excess polyfunctional alcoholate.

Title: Communication channel structure and method
Inventor: MANTHA RAMESH
IPC: H04L47/43
Filed: 2001-12-13
Abstract: A novel communication channel structure and method in a wireless communication system is provided. In an embodiment of the invention, the communication system includes a base station and a plurality of subscriber stations and the subscriber stations are given access to a variety of channels, including at least one uplink data channel. The uplink data channel can operate in at least a random access mode and a polled access mode. The base station informs each subscriber station it serves of the current mode of the uplink channel via an associated downlink signaling channel and, in random access mode, each subscriber station is able to randomly access the shared uplink channel. In polled mode, each subscriber station waits for permission from the base station before sending data over the shared uplink channel. A method of operating the system monitors the collisions which occur on the uplink channel in random mode and/or the amount of data and/or the data's priority level and/or QoS  requirements and switches the system between random and polled modes as appropriate. In polled mode, the method determines which subscriber stations should access the uplink and when.

Patent CA-2373343-A1 (CA)
Inventor: BOUSSAAD SALAH
IPC: G01N21/55
Filed: 2000-05-16
Abstract: A device and method of detecting surface plasmon resonance for sensing molecules or conformational changes in molecules with high resolution and fast response time is disclosed. Light from a light source (14) is focused through a prism onto a metal thin film (15) on which sample molecules to be detected are adsorbed. The total internal reflection of the laser/incident light is collected with a differential position or intensity sensitive photo-detecting device instead of a single cell or an array of photo-detectors (12) that are widely used in previous works. The ratio of the differential signal to the sum signal of the differential position or intensity sensitive photo-detecting device (12) provides an accurate measurement of the shift in the surface plasmon resonance angle caused by the adsorption of molecules onto the metal films (15) or by conformational changes in the adsorbed molecules. The present invention requires no numerical fitting to determine the resonant angle and the setup is compact and immune to background light. The methods and sensors of this invention can be used in numerous biological, biochemical, and chemical applications such as measuring subtle conformational changes in molecules and electron transfer reactions can be studied.
